You don't have to be sorry about taking so long man. Great things take time, and Im sure you want everything to be perfect. In the end it will be well worth the wait

 

I sure hope so! Great things are coming out of this I promise. I've already seen the benefits of working with such a great company. It just sucks though to see the car sitting in the driveway once again awaitng on parts.

 

Sweet videos...

 

Sure, I will admit there are differences in driving styles of everyone. You could have a 400 hp car and drive it on the highway all the time and not really abuse the clutch. No doubt in my mind the car in stock form could roast the clutch as so many people have proven, I am just making the point that is can hold up to some extra power.

 

I"'ll say one thing on the clutch issue. I've been pushing over 280-290 whp for about a year now, 50 passes down the track, 18 on slicks, few street runs, and many WOT runs on the highway, 24,000+ miles on the stock clutch and it's still going strong

 

I had 110 passes on the stock clutch only 8 were stock There were 35 at stage 3 and the rest were stage 5 +. Clutch was still good when i replaced it as a precaution. With proper driving there is no reason the stock clutch wont take 280whp

 

Might I be the first to recommend that you post your final results/videos everything else in a new thread . Just because I think this particular thread has lost alot of interest because of drama earlier in it. It will also be useful for future reference if anyone is searching for twinscrew times/dyno numbers/videos so they dont have to look through a 20 page thread ya know. Just throwin it out there Good luck.

 

A clutch holds torque, not hp. What gives problem to the stock clutch is not highest end hp, is midrange maximum brake torque.

For sure you can shift at higher rpms thus the clutch will hold longer, but if you floor it at midrange highest torque you'll see the stock clutch sucks period.

My stock clutch slipped at 230wtq.

 

yeah win some you lose some. My clucth acted up twice two years ago but after i sat there yelling at my car for a coupl e minutes its been fine ever since.

 

so, with my old mods, 2.5 meth full exhaust and intake my clutch would only slip sometimes from 1st to 2nd.
Do you think that after my turbo setup the clutch will be able to hold just over 300wtq if I only do 2nd and 3rd gear rolls for a while?

 

no and if it does it will hate every second of it

 

Keep that Cobalt in line. A little verbal abuse may hurt its feelings but it gets the point and knows you only mean well. Haha.

 

don't abuse the car, and the stock clutch will hold more then you think
